Memorial Day Travel
Travelers can expect to see increased congestion and delays on U.S 20 during the Memorial Day weekend, so plan extra time into your trip. All roadway work on U.S. 20 is suspended through the holiday weekend – from Friday, May 26, through Monday, May 29 – to ease congestion.
Stay alert for new lane shifts or work zone staging areas that may remain in place. When approaching work zones, remember to slow down and drive cautiously for your safety and for the safety of others.
Upcoming Robal Lane Detour
 Beginning on Tuesday, May 30, the signal at the intersection of U.S. 20 and Robal Lane will be permanently turned off. Drivers traveling south on U.S. 20 will no longer be able to make a left turn onto Robal Lane. The detour for access to Robal Lane for those traveling south on U.S. 20 is as follows:
- turn left on Cooley Road
- turn right onto Hunnel Road
- turn on Robal Lane
All work is dependent on weather conditions, and schedules are subject to change.
New Traffic Pattern on U.S. 20
Beginning on Friday, May 26, the roundabout located at U.S. 20 and Cooley Road will open one lane for travelers on U.S 20. The following steps will help you travel safely through a roundabout.
- Slow down as you approach the roundabout. Look for signs to determine where your exit is located.
- Traffic in the roundabout has the right-of-way. Before you enter the roundabout, you must yield to traffic inside and exiting the roundabout. Wait for a gap and merge into traffic. Be prepared to stop if necessary.
- Once inside the roundabout, move around the circle until you reach your exit. Allow bicycles that have merged into traffic the full travel lane and don’t pass.
- Indicate your plan to exit using your right turn signal. Watch for people in the crosswalk and be prepared to stop.
Watch a video by the Federal Highway Administration to learn the rules of the roundabout. Or read our All About Roundabouts FAQs.
Improvements Coming to U.S. 20
Crews are hard at work building four new dual lane roundabouts, multi-use paths, and upgrading ADA curb ramps along U.S. 20. Construction on U.S. 20 is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023.
